CD Reviews

One of his last rock(ish) albums
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 01/12/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Roberto looks so cool with those love beads hanging out from his black velour jacket, that I figured this just had to be one of his better, earlier albums. Sure enough, his "rocker" side is represented here, in several soft rock numbers which bring to mind, perhaps, Gilbert O'Sullivan, or Bobby Hebb, backed by a sedate Brazilian version of Tower of Power. Pretty lightweight by North American standards, although this does include several of Carlos' most famous tunes, including "Oh! Meu Imenso Amor" and "Sua Estupidez" (a longtime favorite of Gal Costa's). Also includes an early Tim Maia song which is mildly "funky". On the other hand, the straight-up weepy ballads bite -- and bite hard -- but least at this point Carlos is still singing in Portuguese."
